A few days ago I took my birds to the vet for a check up and I realized how much they love being outside, so I have decided to train them to get used to a harness.(although one of them is blind and just flies when she gets really excited)

I have a few questions about the use of the harness though:

- Does my lovebird need to be flight trained to use it?

- If a parrot just decides to start flying won't the harness hurt them?

- And finally, is it safe to take my two lovebirds out at the same time after they are trained?

Sorry if these questions are too simple but I'm just starting training my parrots...

Don't do harness on lovebirds. As much as I love using the harness and taking birds outside, lovebirds are just too small. You can easily take a small cage or carrier and take them places with you while securely put away. Lovebirds in a harness are like a child in adult clothes. It's just not a good idea.
